“Ed is a black belt in jiu-jitsu, and he works out every day,” Vergara told Self magazine of “Modern Family” co-star Ed O’Neill. “He’s 70 years old and moves like a 40-year-old man. It’s impressive to see what exercise has done to him.”

Though Vergara, 44, isn’t a fan of the gym, she realizes the benefits of working out now and its affects in the long run.

“I’m aging, and I know that it does make a difference and you can see it in the women and men that work out,” Vergara said. “Things start to change, and I’m like the only thing to do is go and take care of it.”

While Vergara enjoys mixing up her workout routines — “I can’t do CrossFit or anything that I have to be jumping because I have very bad knees” — she and Manganiello,40, have found a way to switch things up in the kitchen, too.

“We have a lot of healthy things, but we keep a balance,” she explained. “I do have a lot of fruits and vegetables, and we cook fresh meats. But I also have ice cream and dessert and we do that during the weekend. I try to control myself during the week.”

Vergara’s love affair with food is nothing new as the actress shares the occasional snap of delectable treats on Instagram.
